Get Talking: The MD Communication Game Plan

DNSs and administrators should have very clear lines of communication on a regular basis with their medical director, says Susan Levy, MD, CMD, AGSF, president of Columbia, MD-based AMDA—The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. “First, you should be aware of the medical director’s schedule and when they plan on being in the building. Then set up some time during those visits to meet with the medical director for at least half an hour to discuss issues they might have and ongoing projects they are working on.”
